I have put these binoculars through the ringer for the last 3 years now and could not be more impressed. To start, I love that the focus knob is incredibly easy to use even in frigid temps and with gloves on. I recommend these for anyone looking for a quality pair of binoculars no matter experience level with binoculars. Vortex did great with these binoculars, the price, the warranty, and the customer service is all top notch.

Worked great for elk and antelope hunting. I liked that it was lighter than my old ones and focused well.

Absolutely love the optic. Compact enough to easily fit in the case and light enough to take on long treks with the chest rig

I love binoculars, and have mainly used Bushnell Trophy Extreme 10x50 and 8x32, but decided to play around with Vortex as I've heard that they're good. Decided to bite the bullet when there are better discounts throughout the year. And babam, got them for $120. These bad boys make the image crisp and Clear, best bang for your buck! Powerful, better for the day via low light for the most part. Doesn't matter if there's inclement weather, cold, hot, wind, they will outperfuyoir expectations! Great for hunting, bird watching, etc.

Just took these out scouting hunting spots and received several compliments on quality of the glass even in less than ideal light.

I've used these binoculars for several years for work and for play. They never have let me down with their clairty and rugged durability getting banged around in my work kit. They provide excellent detail when glassing for mule deer in heavy brush and with the 10x magnification provide a good enough view which is adequate for most hunters and mid range shooters. Only thing I would change on these is if they had a version that had range finding ability.

I absolutely love the view that these binoculars give you. I was watching turkeys 70 yds. away and they looked amazing and took up most of the view.

I got these bino's for my kids and they love them. Compact and crystal clear! We were spotting deer well before shooting light with these Diamondback's!!! I wish they made the lens covers fixed so they wouldn't get lost (thanks kids) but other than that, great optics. These would be great for beginners or experts!

I use thee binos for every hunt. The visual is super easy to adjust and is always crisp. The harness it comes with is also top tier.

Just quality binos. Lost my last pair a couple years ago and was due for a new pair. The bino harness they come w are great if you have nothing else but I see myself buying a better one in the future.

I have used these binos in the Wyoming back country for 3years now. From being tossed around in my truck to packing in many miles in a Elberlestock recon harness. They have never given me an issue. The glass is still crystal clear.

Much better quality and optics than my equivalent Nikon. Solid and well made.

I had a failure on these glasses and vortex took care of me asap! If all companies stood behind their products and took care of their customers like vortex does the world would be a much better place. I dont why anyone would buy anything but vortex because of their warranty alone. But their quality is also where it needs to be as well.

Have been impressed with quality and clarity for the price. It has served me great both in the field as my ride along binos for every day use.

I use these pretty often at work. They're always super clear, very durable and you can feel they're good quality. They don't feel like a toy, or like they're gunna break. 10x isn't really much, but unless what you're looking at is more than a couple hundred yards they should work great.

super clear optic for the price compared to more expensive options.

I use these on my work vessel in AK and they are great. They dont fog up and are easy to handle and store.

Great binoculars for the price point. I haven't had a lot of experience in the field with them, but in my few test runs I am happy with the brightness and sharpness of the image. the included bag and harness are quality and convenient. the binoculars themselves feel sturdy without feeling too heavy. I got a chance to look at the supermoon and the glasses performed well, with a bright image and sharp contrast.

I've had mine for almost 4 years now and have hunted with them every year. They're lightweight and small enough I can fit by range finder and binos in my chest pack together. I've never had a problem with them fogging up or getting scratched even through the rough stuff.

Incredible pricing and warranty
By Shebadog
Wow...just bought these after spending a month on reviews and trying out several pairs. I'm not an expert but learned alot and love these...nice sturdy build, bright, focus great from side to side..no blurring or fish eye. Best warranty on the market and I read all warranties on the better brands...nothing to match including zweiss. Was torn between 8x42, 10x42 and 10x50. After salesman let me take them outside the 10x50 won my eyes. Gave me just a little more magnification without compromisi...

I bought these binoculars about a month and a half ago and I?ve used them several times, and I love them! They are great quality for the price !!
With the 10x42 Diamondback HD Waterproof Roof Prism Binoculars, you're not just getting a pair of binoculars; you're investing in a high-performance optical experience that defies the usual expectations of its price range. These rugged and durable binoculars are engineered to deliver unparalleled clarity and color accuracy, making them an ideal choice for avid birdwatchers and outdoor enthusiasts.
The Diamondback HD series boasts an HD Optical System, meticulously optimized with select glass elements to achieve exceptional resolution. This advanced system effectively reduces chromatic aberration, ensuring outstanding color fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness, and impressive light transmission. The fully multi-coated lenses enhance this effect, with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces to increase light capture, providing you with a brighter, clearer view of your subject.
In addition to their optical prowess, these binoculars feature a dielectric coating on the prisms, which guarantees bright, color-accurate, and vivid images even in challenging lighting conditions. The ArmorTek coating on the exterior lenses acts as a shield against scratches, oil, and dirt, preserving the pristine quality of your view.
The construction of the 10x42 Diamondback HD binoculars is just as impressive as their optical capabilities. A robust rubber armor encases the binoculars, offering a secure, non-slip grip and superior external protection. The waterproof design, complete with O-ring seals, ensures that moisture, dust, and debris are kept at bay, allowing for reliable performance in all environments. Shockproof construction safeguards the binoculars against recoil and impact, while argon gas purging prevents internal fogging across a wide range of temperatures.
The thoughtful design extends to convenience features as well. Adjustable eyecups twist up and down to accommodate viewers with or without eyeglasses, ensuring comfortable viewing for all users. The center focus wheel allows for simultaneous adjustment of both binocular barrels, while the diopter, located on the right eyepiece, compensates for differences between your eyes. For those who prefer a stable viewing platform, these binoculars are tripod adaptable, making them versatile for use on a tripod or car window mount.
Included with your purchase is the innovative GlassPakTM binocular harness. This accessory keeps your binoculars within easy reach and ready for action, offering protection and significantly more comfort than traditional neck straps. The harness also allows for quick deployment, ensuring you never miss a moment in the great outdoors.
Whether you're tracking wildlife, observing nature's finest details, or embarking on any adventure where clear vision is paramount, the 10x42 Diamondback HD Waterproof Roof Prism Binoculars are your reliable companion, promising a high-quality, versatile, and immersive viewing experience.
